Replying to: letgig (Jun 23, 2005 10:54 am) Let,   Did you find a place to swap your 2002 lights for 2001? I live in NJ also and my 2002 headlights were stolen twice. I thought they had stopped doing this but last week my neighbor's headlights were stolen in our condo complex and now I'm worried again. Both our lights were stolen in 2004 the same night. I just want to replace these darn lights!   BTW, my car was parked diagonally acrossed from hers and they didn't take mine? Go figure! I don't know if the "Protected by DATADOTs sticker" stopped them from taking mine. I doubt it.   Joan
#169 of 227 Stolen Maxima Lights - by pjbear Jul 18, 2005 (5:26 am)
I had my '03 Maxima lights stolen out of my car for the 2nd time.   The first time was 12/03 shortly after I purchased the car - replaced to the tune of $3,500.   They 2nd time was this past Saturday 7/16 4:30am my car was sitting in my driveway on a quiet residental street.   This time it looks like more damage then the 1st time.   I was told by the dealer when they replaced the lights the 1st time that the "datadot" would deter thieves, NOT!!!   What are these lights you guys are talking about?

Maybe you should keep your car locked up from now on, huh?     I've never had that happen to me, thanks to my security system installed.

Replying to: stepheno (Jul 30, 2005 11:13 am) Interesting you would say that, considering by the time anyone responds to an audible alarm, the lights are already in the theives hands. locking the car up has nothing to do with it, the hood is popped from the outside and headlights are then removed.   nissan has an antitheft kit available which includes theft resistant bolts which are a PITA to get out, a hood cable protector and a door lock cylinder sheild. anyone attempting to steal the headlights after this is going to have a hell of a time.

Replying to: carz10 (Jul 14, 2003 2:25 pm) I have a 2003 Maxima SE and I too had my passenger side headlight stolen one week after I purchased the car from Nemet dealership in Hillside, Jamaica...They didn't take the other because something must have spook them.....The dealer ship didn't warn me about the headlights being popular w/the thieves.....On that day an officer was dispatched to take finger prints and before he got started he stated he too has a Maxima 2003 and he was informed about that anti-theft kit so he bought it and had it installed on the car, 2 days later his headlights were stolen again but the only difference this time was that they did more damage to his car than the 1st time because the thieve has to work a little longer, instead of 45 second it took them 1 minute and they bent the hood and damage the front grill......My advise to you is don't waist your time buying the anti-theft kit, it is a wait of money and time....

#176 of 227 Lexus RX 330 theft deterent enhancement program by sharkp Aug 23, 2005 (5:03 pm)
I just got a letter from Lexus, telling me that I should get a dealer installed theft deterrent enhancement for my RX 330 since I live in the "areas of the Northeastern United States of high incident of HID headlight thefts". The letter says its a free installation (needs to be done before Dec 31st) and it includes 2 things: 1) new HID headlight securing devices and 2) unique identification technology applied called "datadots". Has anyone had this done to their vehicle? I found the "datadots" info from their web page. I have not yet seen what the securing devices are. Thanks.
